Check the tape: Ohio State

With a good punter, and without turnovers, you never give the other team the ball outside their own 30. With a good running game, you either score or pin them at the 5. With a great defense, nobody is scoring on you from the 5. Maybe a few field goals from the 30.

So when Northwestern was beating us 28-10, their fans knew they were still in trouble. And when Ohio State was beating us 10-0, their fans knew the game was over. When they play that game, they're unbeatable.
